Soft Strength Mat Pilates flow by Jade Javon

Soft Strength Flow is a 60–75 minute strength-building class that blends a soft, traditional yoga warm-up with the precise, classical exercises of Joseph Pilates. We start by softening the edges—warming and lengthening the body with yoga so your joints feel safe, your breath feels soft and steady, and your mind begins to unwind.

What this class feels like

• A soft landing after a long day, where you can breathe, release tension, and come home to your body
• A soft but steady burn in your core, glutes, and back as we move into classical Pilates sequences
• A soft focus on alignment, breath, and control, so you feel challenged but never punished
• A softly lit, supportive space where you are encouraged to move at your own pace and honor your own edges

This isn’t a punishment workout. It’s a soft ritual of strength that honors your nervous system and your schedule.

What you’ll experience

• Soft Yoga Warm-UpGentle, traditional yoga postures and slow, soft stretches to wake up your spine, open your hips, and lengthen your muscles so they’re ready for deeper work.
• Classical Pilates Strength SeriesWe’ll move through time-tested exercises from Joseph Pilates’ original repertoire—adapted for real bodies—focusing on core, posture, and full-body integration. Expect a soft but serious strength challenge.
• Soft Transitions, Strong ResultsEach movement flows softly into the next, building heat without harsh impact. You’ll feel supported, not rushed; strong, not stressed.
• Soft Breath, Clear MindWe pair breath with every movement so your mind gets just as much attention as your muscles. You’ll leave with a soft, grounded calm that you can carry into the rest of your day.
